Water Conservation

What Can I Do To Conserve?

We must all do our part to use water wisely to ensure that we still have an adequate water supply for the future. Water conservation not only saves water, but also saves you money. Everyone can conserve water indoors and outdoors.
Some of the following suggestions may require a change in daily habits.

INDOORS

Grab a wrench and fix that leaky
faucet. It's simple, inexpensive,
and can save 140 gallons a week.

Drop that tissue in the trash
instead of flushing it and save
gallons every time.

Put food coloring in your toilet
tank. If it seeps into the toilet
bowl, you have a leak. It's easy
to fix, and can save more than
600 gallons a month.

Turn off the water while you
brush your teeth and save 4
gallons a minute. That's 200
gallons each week for a family
of four.

Run your washing machine and
dishwasher only when they are
full and you can save 1,000
gallons a month.

Before you lather up, install a
low-flow showerhead. They
are inexpensive, easy to install,
and can save your family more
than 500 gallons a week.

Time your shower to keep it
under 5 minutes. You'll save up
to 1,000 gallons a month.

Listen for dripping faucets
and toilets that flush them-
selves. Fixing a leak can save
